The Alice Springs chicken was prepared perfectly. The service was good and our server was attentive. The restaurant could be cleaner.

This is the worst Outback location I've eaten! My medium-well burger was nearly raw! I put asked for no mustard, and they put a ton. I can't get a refund thanks to the robotic customer service of Doordash. I will be reporting this to my bank! read more

I ordered 4 items from the menu...Aussie Steak Sammie, Queensland Chicken and Shrimp Pasta, Alice Springs Chicken Quesadillas and Three Cheese Spinach Dip. The Steak on the Aussie Sammie was tasteless with zero seasoning and was overcooked, making the overall sandwich absolutely awful. The chicken breast on the Queensland Chicken and Shrimp was dry, tasteless and also had zero flavor. The shrimp were quite tasty, though and the pasta was good. If I return, I definitely won't be ordering these specific meals again. read more

On July 9, 2026, at approximately 6:00 p.m., my family and I visited the Outback Steakhouse on 23rd Street in Panama City, Florida. We were seated at a table in the back of the restaurant and then waited approximately 20 minutes without a single server coming to greet us, offer drinks, or even acknowledge our table. What made the experience even more frustrating was that another family was seated nearby after we arrived, and within just a few minutes a server came over and began taking their order while we continued to be completely ignored. After waiting that long without any service or explanation, I decided to leave with my family and dine elsewhere. As we were walking out, one of the hostesses or reception staff said, "Shit, that is on you." That comment was unprofessional, disrespectful, and completely unacceptable. I chose not to respond and simply continued walking out. If this restaurant expects customers to pay an automatic 20% gratuity, then it should ensure that its staff provide the most basic level of customer service and professionalism. Customers deserve to be acknowledged promptly, treated with courtesy and respect, and made to feel welcome. Tips should reflect good service--not simply be expected regardless of how customers are treated. Based on my experience, I left feeling ignored and disrespected. As a minority customer, I cannot help but question whether that played a role in how we were treated. The service we received fell far below what any customer should expect. This was one of the worst restaurant experiences my family and I have had. We will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this location to others. read more

My steak was great. My baked potato was perfect. My Blond draft beer was delicious. My server Cheyenne was delightful.

I always come for take out and the Curbside servers are always very pleasant and helpful.

Had delivery tonight and it was perfect and extremely tasteful thank you to all who were there in this process

On veteran's day this location served all veterans a wonderful meal and made the church group I am with, warriors bible study, feel very honored and appreciated. The service was awsome and food was delicious. Thank you for your appreciation. read more

Service was wonderful! Our server was very attentive and the food runners were delightful too. Shyanne is a cool little dude. Loved the Christmas decor they put up read more

Got to go and everything was correct with my online order, the order was on time with what was said to be, quality of food was very good.

I ordered a wedge salad. The salad is only 8 dollars but it cost me 20 with fees and tip to have it delivered. It arrived with no blue cheese, no bacon no onion. It was lettuce 3 grape tomatoes and a half souffle cup of dressing. Everything that makes a wedge was absent. No compensation. I could've ordered a salad from anywhere with blue cheese dressing and got better. read more

I love my Outback! Tonight was always delicious food and my server Holden was extremely awesome!!! Fantastic server!!! Thank you Outback & super thanks to Holden. Awesome! read more

We tried Outback after many years at this location in Panama City. I really liked this location because the service and food were both great! We started with their old fashioned drink, and it was very good. Their complimentary bread is always delicious. For appetizers, we started with their three cheese steak dip. It was pretty good. See photos below. Then we ordered their Toowooba salmon, which is their grilled salmon with seasoned shrimp and mushroom in a creamy sauce. What I like about outback is that you are not just limited to steaks. You have good choices of seafood such as salmon and lobster. We also tried their perfectly grilled salmon, which comes with grilled salmon with some veggies and rice. Instead of rice, I substituted for mashed potatoes. The service was great and our server was attentive. The inside of the place looked nice too. The restaurant is nicely maintained and we would visit this location again to try other things on the menu! See photos below. read more

Our visit to Outback was an overall nightmare. We came with a party of eight, and the entire dinner stretched out to nearly three hours--far longer than we had planned or wanted. While our server seemed like a nice guy, the service was painfully slow. I ordered the bone-in ribeye, and it was a complete letdown. The steak was overcooked and so heavily salted that I could barely taste anything else. I would've mentioned this to the server, but he rarely checked on us. For a $100 dinner tab for two, the quality just wasn't there. If you're looking for a good steak, I'd recommend heading over the bridge to Angelo's or even Texas Roadhouse in Panama City Beach--both are far better options. read more

I had previously left a negative review due to our waitress. However, we came in on Valentine's Day & our server was Ethan. He was AMAZING! So quick, helpful, and had great recommendations. He would bring items before we even had to ask, our steaks were perfect, and he made the experience amazing. Thank you Ethan! read more

Food is always wonderful, well presented and very good. Steaks are cooked to perfection. I use curbside service. Staff is very professional, very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Outback for the best steaks you can get at a more than reasonable price. Well done Outback! read more

Food was absolutely fabulous. Service was exceptional . The baked potato soup was delicious. Our order was taken promptly and filled correctly. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only complaint was that it took a long time to get your order. It won't stop me from coming back. Pricey but worth it. read more

I ordered takeout from Outback Steakhouse and everything was wonderful. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, just the way I like it. My order was packaged well, hot, and ready right on time when I arrived for pickup. Great quality and service--I'll definitely be ordering again. read more

We had a new server, I told him at the very beginning I had a blooming onion appetizer reward , he said "I got you & I'll take the charge off at the end, he said what appetizer do you want? We said the shrimp Our meal was ok but we waited 40 minutes for the check & it was wrong Then he says you only get the blooming onion so I can't help you on the charge Per the manager, sorry but they s is poor management skills you could have comps me something on a hundred dollar tab read more

went to have dinner on Veterans Day? The wait time was an hour and a half long. Was that was understood because it was a special occasion that veterans got to eat free. When speaking to the manager, she very rude and disrespectful. Did not apologize for the or nothing and I asked her since we can't get in. Do y'all give out a voucher for the veterans to come back at another given time she said no. I feel like if you're going to patronize and recognize our veterans and they can't get in you should be able to accommodate them at another given time so that would definitely make me not want to visit again because rude and disrespectful attitude that the manager had . read more

Thanks Audrey!! Amazing food and service. She made the experience everything we didn't know we needed.

Prime rib was tender.. had no outer crust and very little seasoning..recommend another selection..bread was good.salad was fresh..all lettuce few half slices of cherry tomato.. 3 razor thin cucumber slices.. read more

Loved the food and service here, our server Nick was very attentive, made some really great reccomendations and was very kind.

Do not order takeout. Did not get steak like I ordered...ordered medium and got well well done and very tough. No butter for bread included and very very small portion of ranch dressing for salad. Spent 50.00 with delivery cost and didn't eat it. read more

I love eating at Outback's, they get it right 9 out of 10 times. I always order the most expensive steak done medium and they have gotten it right each of 27 times. Their Boozy Lemonade is a Hit. read more

Nick our waiter awesome, some manager in red maybe the lead host actually yelled at one of my friends for being late granted she's the one that took a reservation for a party of 8 10-15 minutes before they close read more

Food was delicious, tried the new Chicken sandwich and it was good. Had salmon and rice and the wife say it was delicious

Well I came here for my birthday because I wanted a steak and the iconic blooming onion. We don't eat out often and well it was disappointing to say the least. Service was mid at best and the food was below average. Outback has fallen off over the years apparently. The ambiance is a typical outback...save your money and find a local steak restaurant. Disappointment awaits at this outback read more

Me and my boyfriend went there the other day and they brought our salads out after our food came out and I had to ask for them. and I had to ask to get the bread that they bring out took 10 minutes for them to bring us steak sause. All them employees just kept staring at us making us very uncomfortable. I love this place so very disappointed with the service. read more

Well, our food was ready on time and I was given great customer service. We always have an awesome experience.

Arrived at 4:30 for my wife's birthday dinner. Greeted promptly by Cara our waitress. Ordered an appetizer of coconut shrimp and we each went with our usual iced tea. Cara brought out some bread and our tea and we both ordered fillet mignon and lobster tail for our main course. I ordered broccoli and a side salad with caesar dressing and for her it was a baked potato with a side salad and caesar dressing. Coconut shrimp appetizer was good albeit a bit on the oily side. The 8 shrimp were large and tasted good. The server was a bit mixed up about which one of us ordered what but we figured it out. Steaks were good as well as the lobster tails. Pretty small tails, guessing around 3 oz. Not convinced that the yellow liquid that accompanied the lobster was actually butter. We got there early enough that it was pretty quiet but by the time we left there was a waiting list for seating. Cara stopped by once to see if everything was alright but never refilled my iced tea. Knocked $2.00 off the tip because of that. Will quite likely return, mostly because the Mrs seems to like this place and I don't think it's terrible. read more

So, I walked in at 4:45 pm to sit at the bar and grab a nice glass of Sav Blanc and get a steak order to go and was really looking forward to just chilling with a glass of wine at the bar. There were a total of 4 empty bar stools. I tried one and the overweight man told me I couldn't sit there bc someone else was sitting there. They were not. That person finally walked in after I was there 5 min. There were three other stools, but the girl bartender said oh you can't sit in either of those two stools bc they are here they just haven't come inside yet. The other empty was also "guess what". It was being "held" for someone that hadn't showed up yet. I mean, I'm a very smart professional and it is never good etiquette for a restaurant or bar staff to allow seats to sit empty. I literally wanted an expensive glass of wine after working all day and an order to go. So I'm assuming this bar is for "locals who act like it's their Cheers Bar"? I have always loved Outback. We moved here from Bluffton, SC in May of this year and I can guarantee you I will never step foot into your Outback ever again and I will make sure all of my colleagues, friends and whoever else knows that if you're not in the "Cheers" clique, you're SOL. Bars do not reserve seats! If y'all do, you may want to advertise that you can reserve bar seats. Longhorns it will be from now on I guess. read more

Good steak n fries. The blooming onion apparently shrank. It's notably smaller than our last our salads and drinks were very good. Note to manager: some cleaning might be good. In our booth, there was a large amount of crud in the booth seat seams. Not very pleasant. 2 stars on this part. read more

First impression was seated at the bar and asked to be moved to a quieter table. We did early dinner. The server was fine, but the salads were not fresh and had core of lettuce in them. The broccoli was mush, and it looked old. We asked for a replacement, and it was very mushy like they had overcooked it. The men's bathroom was very dirty for it being in the evening. We have tried this steakhouse a couple times. This is it for us. read more

Food is always hood at this location, my wife and I prefer to set at the bar at this location as the Bartender James or Jim is awesome very attentive and a great mixologist, food served HOT at the right time after appetizers, and he even knows some of our friends here on the beach. Great conversation if your that person. We love this location. read more

This was an all around bad choice. When we arrived we were told that they were out of bread, Mac and cheese and more than half of all the steaks on their menu. Though we were bummed, we were starving so we decided to stay anyway. When we ordered from the steaks they did have (outback sirloin) and it arrived to our table they were not edible. Not even our steak knives could cut through them. The baked potato's were drenched in butter, making them extremely soggy. Disgusting. Finally, we were there to celebrate my birthday and when the waiter came out with my birthday dessert he said, "no one in the kitchen wants to come out and sing, sorry." What?! We would never come back here again. I will add that the poor waiter tried to do his best with a very poor work environment. Can't say much for Outback. read more

When I asked to have my table changed due to the loudness of a table next to us the hostess up front did change our table but only after making two condescending comments. She had no idea of my personal situation that I am currently going through and made it difficult for me to sit where I was sitting. Our server came up - who was extremely sweet and understanding - and I asked her who was the lady up front - come to find out it was the owner! Needless to say we got up and left and will never go back. Unbelievable that someone with such inept basic customer service skills owns their own restaurant, read more

Seated right away. The place is busy. The bathroom (women's) was very dirty. This was 1/7 at 2pm. We ordered a blooming onion and it was really greasy when it came out. The wife ordered the ribeye steak and it was very good. I ordered a chicken breast, breaded and fried and it was also cooked right...nice and juicy. read more

The last few times we have been here, Amanda D has been our server and is absolutely the BEST!!! The food is always amazing as well!

Stopped in for a late lunch with the mother. We had Caroline as our waitress and she was great. Food was fast and good. We did a appetizer and lunch special. The restaurant was clean and bathrooms as well. Would recommend. read more
